-3.5 Setting the gain
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Setting the gain
+----------------
+
 Not all devices have the same strength. Therefore, users should set a gain
 factor depending on how strong they want effects to be. This setting is
 persistent across access to the driver.
 
-/* Set the gain of the device
-int gain;              /* between 0 and 100 */
-struct input_event ie; /* structure used to communicate with the driver */

+    int gain;          /* between 0 and 100 */
+    struct input_event ie;     /* structure used to communicate with the driver */
 
-if (write(fd, &ie, sizeof(ie)) == -1)

-3.6 Enabling/Disabling autocenter
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Enabling/Disabling autocenter
+-----------------------------
+
 The autocenter feature quite disturbs the rendering of effects in my opinion,
 and I think it should be an effect, which computation depends on the game
 type. But you can enable it if you want.
 
-int autocenter;                /* between 0 and 100 */
-struct input_event ie;
+::
 
-ie.type = EV_FF;
-ie.code = FF_AUTOCENTER;
-ie.value = 0xFFFFUL * autocenter / 100;
+    int autocenter;            /* between 0 and 100 */
+    struct input_event ie;
 
-if (write(fd, &ie, sizeof(ie)) == -1)
+    ie.type = EV_FF;
+    ie.code = FF_AUTOCENTER;
+    ie.value = 0xFFFFUL * autocenter / 100;
+
+    if (write(fd, &ie, sizeof(ie)) == -1)
        perror("set auto-center");
 
 A value of 0 means "no auto-center".
